Linley Crocker Poet Rhyme

Town Agenda

gathering and bruising typhoon rain
purrs the pain 
jumping off the tracks blind locomotive train
wreck to maime
blooding noses quicker than white caine 
ignorance pickled conductors always feign 
with hands stained red from another man's ration of grain
predictable as the charted tides of Maine
mismatching words and actions lead the cause of insane 
intent should be printed clear and plain

akira artly October 1, 2026 at 7:09 AM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
